Sanidine Cleavage

When it comes to choosing the best pick among Blue Gemstones gemstones, Sanidine is known to be a popular choice!Physical properties of Sanidine include its hardness, gravity, fracture, cleavage, etc. For any gemstone crystal, Sanidine Optical Properties are responsible for imparting various physical properties to its structure. Knowledge of these properties is equally important to gem-cutters as well as to consumers. Sanidine cleavage is nothing but the plane across which the crystal splits during cutting. Sanidine cleavage is Perfect, Good,and specific gravity of Sanidine is 2.54-2.61.

The physical properties of Sanidine, in fact, are imparted by the chemical composition of its individual molecule. The reactivity or inertness of the crystal is solely governed by its chemical structure. Chemical composition of Sanidine is represented by KAlSi 3O 8Michael O’Donoghue , Gems, Sixth Edition (2006).
